Crushed ice is finely crushed ice used in cocktails to chill and dilute drinks quickly while adding texture. It’s commonly used in cocktails like the Mojito, Frozen Margarita, or Daiquiri, where its small, jagged pieces enhance the drink’s refreshing quality. The crushed ice also creates a frosty, appealing visual and helps to evenly mix the ingredients. Its versatility makes it ideal for both shaken cocktails and those served over a bed of ice.
